What AI charges to recommend your business
One-time audit — the complete picture
Monthly to stay visible as AI evolves
AI platforms tested — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Google
The Truth Nobody's Saying Out Loud
What You've Been Paying For
This is not mass advertising
When someone asks AI for help, it already knows their location, their situation, and their history. It gives one specific answer to one specific person at the exact moment they need it. That's not an ad — that's a referral at scale.
Highest-rated emergency plumber in your area. 24/7 live dispatch, licensed and insured. 47-minute average response time for your zip code.
Boutique firm specializing in partnership disputes and business transitions. Strong track record with Denver-area small businesses. Initial consultations within 48 hours.
AI knows who is asking, where they are, and what they've said before. Recommendations match the person — not a demographic guess.
By the time someone acts on an AI recommendation they're already convinced. They're calling to confirm — not to shop.
AI platforms don't sell placement. You can't buy your way in. Visibility is earned through clear positioning — which is exactly what we build.
The Two Things Nobody Talks About
When AI recommended Riverside Plumbing at midnight — Riverside didn't pay a cent. No cost-per-click. No monthly ad budget. No bidding against competitors. The recommendation happened because Riverside was positioned to be found. That's it.
Compare that to what that same moment would have cost on Google Ads, Yelp, Angi, or HomeAdvisor. Hundreds of dollars. Maybe more. AI gave the recommendation for free — because the business earned it through visibility.
Businesses that establish their AI visibility now receive free, high-intent referrals every single day — from a channel their competitors are still paying to ignore.
Every customer database ever built captures demographics — age, zip code, income bracket. Companies pay thousands for lists that tell them who someone probably is. AI doesn't guess. It knows.
By the time someone asks AI for a recommendation, it already knows their situation in their own words. Their urgency. Their location. Their budget signals. Their actual problem — not a demographic approximation of it. That's not a lead. That's a pre-qualified buyer with their hand raised.
The close rate on an AI referral is fundamentally different from a cold ad click. The person already trusts the recommendation. They're calling to confirm, not to shop.
| Channel | Cost per lead | Knows context? | Pre-qualified? | Ready to act? | Can be bought? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AI Search (VisibleAlly) | $0 | Deeply | Yes | Yes | No — earned only |
| Google Ads | $15–150+ | Keywords only | Rarely | Sometimes | Yes |
| HomeAdvisor / Angi | $20–80+ | No | No | Shared w/ 3 others | Yes |
| Social Media Ads | $25–200+ | Demographics | No | Rarely | Yes |
| Word of Mouth | $0 | Partially | Yes | Yes | No — earned only |
AI search is the first channel since word-of-mouth to deliver zero-cost, pre-qualified, high-intent referrals at scale.
35 million small businesses in the United States. Almost none have established their AI visibility. The businesses that move first will own this channel in their market — earning free, pre-qualified referrals every day while their competitors are still paying for clicks.
Find Out Where You Stand →The $2,995 Audit
A thorough, done-for-you investigation of how your business appears — or doesn't — across every major AI platform. You get a scored report, a competitor benchmark, and a clear prioritized action plan. No jargon. No fluff. Just the truth about whether you're worthy of the recommendation — and exactly what it takes to get there.
We test your business across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI using the exact queries your customers type. You see word-for-word what AI says about you — and what it says about your competitors.
We identify 20+ questions your ideal customers ask AI before choosing a provider. This becomes the foundation for everything that improves your visibility.
We audit your entity establishment signals — NAP consistency across 12+ directories, Google Business Profile completeness, schema markup (LocalBusiness, Service, FAQPage, AggregateRating), and AI-readable website content. Every gap is documented, scored, and prioritized by impact.
We run the same tests on your top 2–3 competitors. You'll see exactly where they're appearing, how they're described, and where you have room to move ahead.
A visibility score (0–100), a clear gap analysis, and a prioritized list of exactly what to change — delivered in a 60-minute debrief call with your advisor.
Simple, Transparent Pricing
The complete truth about your AI visibility — scored, benchmarked against competitors, with a clear action plan in plain English.
AI platforms evolve. Competitors improve. Your business changes. Monthly maintenance keeps you visible — without you lifting a finger.
Who This Is For
Plumbers, electricians, HVAC, contractors, repair services. When something breaks, people ask AI who to call right now. Your business needs to be in that answer — without paying per click.
Attorneys, financial advisors, accountants, consultants. Trust drives your business. AI recommendations carry that trust — and they can't be bought by a competitor with a bigger ad budget.
Clinics, therapists, dental practices, chiropractors. Patients research carefully before choosing — and they're tired of ads too. AI gives them a trusted recommendation, not a sponsored result.
If you've written a check to Google, Yelp, HomeAdvisor, or the Yellow Pages and felt vaguely ripped off — this is what you've been waiting for. The playing field just leveled.
The Language of AI Visibility
Why VisibleAlly
VisibleAlly was built by practitioners who use AI every day — not consultants who learned the terminology last month. Our founder John Basso has built multiple businesses using AI as the primary productivity and strategy tool, and has developed one of the most complete working models of how AI systems evaluate, trust, and recommend businesses.
VisibleAlly scores among the highest of any service business in its own category on every dimension we measure others against — entity establishment, platform presence, content signals, citation authority, and competitive position. We eat our own cooking.
"We will never sell a service we haven't validated on ourselves first. If VisibleAlly isn't visible in AI search, we have no business telling you to be."
— John Basso, Founder, VisibleAlly
We don't do SEO, social media, paid ads, or web design. We do one thing — AI visibility — and we do it better than anyone. That focus means every hour of your audit is spent on the signals that actually move AI search results.
Our audit protocol tests businesses across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI using emergency queries, recommendation queries, comparison queries, validation queries, and expertise queries — the full range of how real customers search.
VisibleAlly serves small businesses across the entire United States. AI visibility is a national opportunity — the same optimization principles that work in Denver work in Dallas, Miami, Chicago, and Seattle. Our entire service is delivered remotely with no travel required.
VisibleAlly does not pick sides between competitors. Every plumber, attorney, dentist, and contractor deserves to be visible in AI search. We help all of them reach their own maximum visibility ceiling — independently, without exclusivity arrangements or market wars.
